Connecting to your EV3

There are several options to pair the EV3 robot with a computer.

Using the starter code:
1) Run the starter code for the localization project, the robot will display a prompt to pair with the computer. Accept the invite.
2) Accept the default password on the robot or enter a new one.
3) A new window should pop up on the computer asking for the password.

Using blueman-manager:
1) Launch blueman-manager from the commandline.
2) Search for the robot, check the id of your robot on the EV3 brick in the settings menu (right most menu), under brick info.
3) Once the device is found, follow the steps for the pairing process. You will select a password on the EV3 kit to enter on the computer similar to the above process.

If your robot has already been paired with a computer, sometimes you need to forget the existing pairing under the bluetooth menu on the EV3 kit in order to be able to successfully pair to a new computer.

Using bluetoothctl:
1) Launch bluetoothctl from the commandline
2) Type: power on
3) Type: scan on
4) Once the device is visible, type pair [put the device number here]
5) You will need to accept the pairing request on the brick and input a pincode.

Here is a sample bluetoothctl session. When "Attempting to pair with [device number]" appears, the brick displays a confirmation window that needs to be accepted.
